Changes

This year has brought me A LOT of changes. I think almost everyone of them is on the top things that cause stress, too!

1. I graduated from school.
2. Which meant I had to leave school, which I loved!, and that I had to find out what to do with myself in the evenings after work!
3. I had a two year relationship end.
4. Which meant that I had to completely change everything I had planned for the future.
5. I resigned from the IRS, where I had worked for 8 years.
6. Which meant I had to change all of the people I was used to seeing every single day, and I no longer would have my summers off from work.
7. I started a brand new job/career.
8. Which meant I had to learn a whole new job and industry, and meet different people.
9. Josh got a girlfriend.
10. Which means I no longer have him around...at all...which pisses me off, but I guess he's gotta do what he's gotta do.

There are other changes currently under way, like my co-worker and I are being moved in our department, and taken away from our comfort zone. Gabby is getting boobs, and I had to buy her a few sports bras (man she's gonna kill me for that if she ever reads this when she's older!)...and she's starting the 4th grade, and will be going to a completely new daycare after school. And, getting back into the gym is a change from the way I've been living for the last couple of years.

So, it would only make sense that now that I have another change...having a computer for the first time in nearly a year!...I will be back to blogging and want to change it up. So, as you can see, I've already changed my page layout...but now I'm lost! I don't remember how to add in all the sidebar stuff...and I've lost my favorites on my computer, so I no longer have any blog addresses to the ones I used to read! Please send to me so I can start again. I will be categorizing a little better, too, and not talking so much about feelings, and silly things that I should get over.

I've been told by a few people now that they love the way I write my blogs, which is funny because when I was in the third grade, my teach wrote on my report card that I should be a writer. Well, whatever the case, if you hate my blogs, or love them...or whether I can really write or not!...I would like to maybe hone in on it, and see what I can do. Be a little more of myself, if that's possible! No holds barred anymore people...so watch out!

DIY Faux Brick Wall with German Schmear

Written February 14, 2021, when I tried to start a  WordPress blog , but failed because I'm old and it's too complicated. My estranged (?), separated (?), I don't know what, husband, and I actually worked on this together.  I watched 1,000 YouTube videos and read another 1,000 posts on how to do this.  In the end, I took a little from here and a little from there. The faux brick paneling was bought from Home Depot.   We cut the seams with a Ryobi jigsaw , used liquid nails and a Ryobi nail gun to attach the panels, and used joint compound mixed with a bit of water for the schmear.  It's a perfectly, imperfect technique.  I practiced a little, but decided to just jump in and let the wall take on a life of it's own.  I will warn that the joint compound dries much whiter than you think it will.  Use sparingly if you want to see more brick. Once the wall was finished, I painted the other walls Sherwin Williams Perfect Greige .  Shelves and floor...

Happy Freakin' New Year

Written January 1, 2021, when I tried to start a Wordpress blog , but failed because I'm old and it's too complicated. 2020 and I had a love/hate relationship. I hated seeing what was happening to others and the world. I dealt with my fair share of struggles, but mostly, I think I was the closest to contentment that I've ever been. 1. I LOVED working from home MOMO working from home 2. I felt closer to my family 3. I didn't mind the slower pace and less to do 4. I was able to have a better work/life balance 5. I felt more productive at home and at work 6. I did a couple of home projects - helped my parents landscape my front yard, gave my bedroom a makeover with my sister, and reorganized my pantry with her Before After Pantry Makeover Bedroom Makeover 7. I spent the best summer with my son and dogs at my sister'shouse - laughing, crying, painting rocks, getting to know my fur nieces and nephews (Wall-E, Maggie, Leeloo, and funny, little, Peyton who we lost in...

What is up?

Whew! I made it to my parent's house for once. My computer is still down, but it is my fault for not bringing it over to my dad's to get it fixed. It's kind of nice though to not always be so worried about checking my email or what not. I've been pretty busy. I was working my usually seasonal job for the last three weeks. Halloween happened, of course (pictures coming), and I've been interviewing like crazy. I'm going to be looking into temp jobs this week. I got a call from one, and she was going to put me into this once company that I've put in like 12 applications for. So, it might be easier for me to just find a temp-to-hire job. At least then I'll be relatively done with this whole interview crap. I don't even get nervous anymore...I just hate it. I'd rather sit in a bath tub full of frogs. Ok, maybe not that, but something else just as painful... I seriously had a blog written up in my head every single day for the last few wee...
